Ingredients Whole wheat flour - 2 cups Salt - to taste Yogurt dip - Yourt - 1 cup - Mint - 1 cup, loose leaves - Water - optional, depending on the consistency of the dough Method Blend yogurt and mint in a blender. You could do this with hand whisker as well. Just remember to chop the mint very fine when blending with hand. I noticed when the yogurt is blended in a mixer, it looses its creamy consistence. It works good actually to make dough. Now make soft dough by mixing yogurt blend and wheat flour. Keep the dough covered for 30 minutes for the gluten to develop. Roll out to make parathas or rotis. In my opinion, the parathas and rotis tastes heavenly when eaten hot, straight from the griddle. 

Ingredients Mint - 1 cup, roughly chopped Cilantro - 1 cup, roughly chopped Green Chilies - 1-2 Ginger - 1/2 inch Cumin powder - 1 tsp Lemon juice - as per taste Black salt - to taste Sugar - optional Oil - 1/2 tsp Method: Blend everything in a blender. Don't add excess water to avoid runny chutney. Adjust spices, salt and sugar. I like to freeze some chutney in ice tray for future use. It comes handy in case of emergency.

Ingredients Cauliflower - 1 medium size. Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp Onions - 1 medium, sliced Red bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced. Salt to taste Marinade Yogurt - 1 cup Garlic paste - 1 tsp. Chop and grind fresh. Ginger - 1 tsp. Chop and grind fresh. Green chili or red chili powder - if using fresh green chili, grind it along with ginger and garlic. Kasoori methi - 1-1.5 tsp Tandoori powder - 1 -2 tsp.  I use MDH brand. Lemon juice - half lemon juice (optional) Tumeric - 1 tsp Besan (gram flower) - 1 tsp Method Cut cauliflower into medium size florets. Par boil the pieces and strain excess water. I sometimes add some turmeric powder while I boil the cauliflowers. It gives a nice yellow color.  Mix ingredients under marinade and add it to par boiled cauliflowers. Keep the marinated mixture in refrigerator for 2-3 hours. While the cauliflowers is soaking the flavors of the marinade, slice bell peppers and onions. Heat vegetable oil...
